BUSH
KNEW OF THE THREAT BEFORE 9-11,
AND HE KNOWS ABOUT A NEW THREAT NOW!
by H. Millard (c) 2002

Now that the news has leaked out that President
Bush had received intelligence reports about possible airliner hijackings
by followers of Osama bin Laden a month before the 9-11 attacks, the
Bush administration and its talk radio toadies are all spinning the
story to indicate that Bush did not have specific knowledge that bin
Laden's followers would turn the planes into guided missiles and crash
them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

That's a hollow excuse
and one that might be used by the dumbest kid in a classroom who didn't
tell a teacher that he had heard some unknown student was going to bring
a gun to school, before a school massacre. The fact is that Bush didn't
need to have a specific threat to warn the American people. What the
hell did he think bin Laden's followers would do with hijacked planes?
Take a sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon? Set up an airline company?
Bush, as President of the U.S., had hundreds of thousands of federal
employees to help him uncover threats and protect the American people.
That's his job. For him to simply shrug his shoulders now and pretend
he did everything possible is absurd. We expect more from our President.
We expect him to use our tax money and the resources we have made available
to him to protect us. We don't expect our President to have six senses,
but it'd be nice if he had the usual five and could extrapolate from
what he does know to likely outcomes.

If
you, dear reader, received a threat that middle eastern terrorists were
going to hijack a car in your neighborhood, wouldn't you take some precautions
against it? Wouldn't you ask why they wanted to hijack a car? Why your
neighborhood? What were they planning? If the hijacker then crashed
that car into a crowded store killing a number of people, would you
lamely say that you didn't have specific knowledge that the car would
be crashed into that specific store?

One man, whose wife died on one of the hijacked airplanes,
told the press that his wife was on an optional and unimportant business
trip, and that she probably wouldn't have flown had there been any warning
involving airplanes, no matter how vague the warning might have been.

We seldom have specific knowledge of what terrorists
are going to do. That's because they try to keep their future actions
hidden. We have to assume the worst, based on our intelligence. In the
case of 9-11, American citizens still don't have the complete intelligence
reports that Bush was privy to, and we may never have them, because
they've probably joined the strips of paper in the shredding basket
along with the records on Enron. However, our common sense tells us
that the President, if he's up to the job of being President, should
have done more than do nothing about the threats before 9-11. Smart
people try to figure things out before they're blind sided. They do
this by paying attention to the world around them.
Maybe Mr. Bush just doesn't pay attention.

But, enough of 9-11.That was a tragedy for the people
and their families involved in the horror. In the days and weeks that
come, the relatives of the deceased will speak out in their own ways,
and I imagine that more than a few of them will say that things might
have been different had they and their now deceased loved ones been
warned by Mr. Bush.

Let's turn
to another threat that Mr. Bush is ignoring right now, and let's speak
about the terror that many citizens might not have to experience if
Mr. Bush would just pay attention and do what he's been hired to do.
Here's the warning: ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM MEXICO AND POINTS SOUTH ARE
ATTACKING, ROBBING, RAPING, BURGLARIZING, AND KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS
EACH AND EVERY DAY IN THIS COUNTRY. THERE WILL BE MORE SUCH TERRORIST
ATTACKS TODAY AND THERE WILL BE MORE TOMORROW.

We
don't have specific knowledge about which illegal aliens will do this,
and we don't have specific knowledge of who their victims will be or
what weapons the illegal aliens will use, but isn't it enough to know
that they're in the country illegally and that if President Bush did
his job to protect American citizens, that he would have these illegal
aliens arrested and deported, before they get a a chance to rob, rape,
burglarize and kill American citizens?

It's
horrific that foreign nationals killed almost four thousand citizens
on 9-11, but it's also horrific that foreign nationals are killing citizens
each and every night in this country. Eventually, unless things change
and illegal aliens are arrested and deported, the total citizens killed
by illegal aliens will far exceed the toll of 9-11. Is it less horrific
because these American citizens are killed one by one by street terrorists?
Is the pain for their families any less?

Will
President Bush act to protect American citizens on American soil by
rounding up illegal alien criminals and sending them back to their own
friggin' countries? Or, will he just shrug his shoulders again and tell
every loved one of a murdered American citizen that he didn't have "specific
knowledge," so he just let the illegal alien criminals run free
in this nation? Not one single American citizen would be victimized
by an illegal alien if Mr. Bush would do his job and protect our borders,
because there would be no illegal aliens in this country.

Instead
of doing the right thing, Bush is busy trolling for votes by pandering
to Hispanics by trying to make illegal alien criminals legal residents
of the U.S. Mexicans are also, right now as you read this, trying to
take over the southwestern states of the U.S. They claim that the U.S.
stole it from Mexico. They're attempting their takeover mainly by swamping
these states with their nationals who, by the way, are allowed dual
citizenship. Mexican President Vicente Fox, has said that the Mexican
nation extends beyond its borders. By this he means that the Mexican
nation is where there are Mexicans in the U.S. What is Bush doing? Shrugging
his shoulders and looking for evil in Iraq, rather than right here in
the U.S.

THE OUTSIDER is an enigmatic and complex
work of fiction wrapped in seeming simplicity. It has elements of the
mystical, the existential, and the transcendental as well as being a
commentary on the PC nature of our times.

The reader is never sure whether the main character
is schizophrenic and is imagining all the events of the story, or whether
he is an avatar and in control of events; or perhaps, he is simply being
meaninglessly blown along through events like a leaf in a breeze. Just
as the reader thinks the story is a straightforward tale, it takes some
subtle and some not so subtle turns into absurdity and meaninglessness
and then back again.
